...After explaining the situation to the anesthesiologist, the nurses, the family - and once again to myself - we had Charlie asleep on the table, his leg a nice iodine brown from the skin prep, antibiotics floating around in his blood along with the Three-Mile-Island cocktail from the oncologists. Boy was his knee full of fluid. You start an arthroscopy by putting a metal tube about the size of a Cross pen into the joint. You then expect to drain out an ounce or so of tannish, slippery fluid when you take the plug out of the tube...
...Lurie ’05 charged that ethnic groups and the Harvard Foundation for Intercultural and Race Relations “exacerbate the already intractable problem of self-segregation.”Lurie criticized ethnic organizations for “concentrating on what superficially separates us—like skin color or where our ancestors came from.” He called for a “Color Blind Students Association” to take their place.The Harvard Foundation was formed in 1981 by University administrators who wanted to “improve relations among racial and ethnic groups...
...people. A team of scientists at Riken's biomimetic-control research center in Nagoya has developed RI-MAN (for Robot Interacting with Human) to look after the elderly. Standing 5-ft. 2-in. tall, the robot can hoist 77 lbs; its 320 pressure sensors and soft silicone skin allow the robot to safely carry a human body. RI-MAN can also pinpoint where sound is coming from and "smell" eight scents--including urine, which signals "diaper change." But RI-MAN needs a brainpower boost before it's ready for consumers. It can't distinguish faces yet, for example. Scientists...
...epics such as “Alexander,” he once again plays a character much more grandiloquent than the actor is in real life. Although a solid performance overall, Farrell sways from overacting, as though he were on stage, to settling comfortably into Bandini’s skin on screen. At least he didn’t have to pull off an English accent, which we all know didn’t work out too well in “The New World.” Bottom Line: “Ask the Dust” touches...
...most vulnerable to the disease--adults over age 60. Shingles occurs when the chicken-pox virus from a childhood infection is reactivated--usually by the decline in immunity that comes with age--and travels from the nerve cells where it has remained dormant, all the way to the skin, where it blossoms into the condition's hallmark lesions. Zostavax contains a crippled form of the chicken pox's varicella zoster virus, and jump-starts the body's immune system, boosting the defense cells specifically designed to attack varicella. In trials with nearly 40,000 subjects, the vaccine reduced rash...
